"Caboclas de pena," Daughters of Glamour: Curriculum and Divas Pop in the Queer Black South Atlantic
Ranniery, Thiago; Macedo, Elizabeth
Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy, v18 n2 p183-207 2021
This article relies on events interpreted within an ethnographic study of school parties in Aracaju, Brazilian Northeast, in which students embody drag-queens inspired by videoclips of international pop singers. Conceptual resonances from queer black esthetics and neomaterial feminist perspectives will be irregularly mixed with "divas'" performances in order to imagine otherwise the curriculum and political action at schools. In the Queer Black South Atlantic, "divas" transform the modern colonial scenario by mimicking and remixing, simultaneously, afro-diasporic and afro-indigenous elements and pop music in their bodies. We will explore how the ontological inconstancy of glamour points out the inseparability between drag performances and generic social practices in the intra-active co-constitution of the curriculum. The effects of their performances operate a metamorphic dislocation that constitutes the curricular meshes, showing an intensive poetic force when reclaiming a supplement of life that imaginative colonial structures insist on usurping.
